Glad to help.
We've seen problems in the summary table and in the client-statistics
reporting.
For Servergraph, we ended up using the accounting log to analyze client
sessions.
That has always been rock solid.

To use it:
SET ACCOUNTING ON, first;
do a backup or something;
then look for dsmaccnt.log in the ...tsm/server/bin directory, and write
scripts to parse it, per the documentation in the TSM Administrator's Guide
(or is it the Reference?)
(Or get Servergraph to do it for you.)
